Preschool & Recreational Programs
Preschool & Recreational Programs
Each class begins with a warm-up, followed by time on the vault, uneven bars, beam, floor, and trampoline, and ends with a cool-down.
Our Preschool and Recreational programs follow our comprehensive curriculum, the NGS Goals program. Each level is distinguished by progressive benchmark, supporting, and supplementary skills. At the end of the session, athletes receive a report card highlighting their accomplishments and development.​
